According to chicken breeders, their businesses are strongly affected as all six local poultry markets in Yuxin are closed for preventing the transmission of the H7N9 virus. Nine people have died out of 33 confirmed cases of the virus, all in eastern China, according to data from the National Health and Family Planning Commission. State media quoted authorities as saying a vaccine should be ready within months. (Photo by William Hong/Reuters)
